What great rhymes!

The band and mix are very good as always.
Six guitar tracks? Makes my head spin thinking about mixing that! smile
You said vocals are your weakest area. Hmmm … they sounded really good to us.

Regarding the pushes … the creation of them is above our simple production pay grade but they sounded effective/engaging indeed.

This is a top of the bar production and we enjoyed reading the back story.
We also appreciate the time and effort to gain this result.

Well done!

Janice and Bud, love this story, too. Know this character very well as one of many that weave through my lyricist's stories. Very relatable topic about lost friends from our youths. Yes, the rhymes are killer, and a lot of fun to sing, too.

Six guitars ARE a lot, but the listener only hears them all at once on the final chorus while going for the big ending. Have found that keeping each guitar in a unique spot around the stereo image a good technique for maintaining clarity. That PG Music did such a nice job putting these six highly compatible guitars in a single style is helpful, and VERY cool.

On the vocals, well...let's just say I'm no "first-take-Janet". Ha!

Glad ya'll enjoyed the tune! THANK YOU for the lovely review.

Too many guitars (is that a thing?)
